Summary:

Problem solving for artificial intelligence begins by recognizing that a problem exists. Grammatically, problems are generally found in multiple sentences, known as a problem statement, in the interrogative and imperative form. Extracting problem information from simple sentences is straightforward, however, for complex and compound sentences becomes challenging. The goal of this project is to develop decision tree rules to classify sentences into simple, compound, or complex form and then to further classify their parts into declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory form.

The project will start with a literature review problem recognition and sentence structure. Next, time will be spent on creating the rules for classifying sentences into their various forms. Next, a database of sentences will be created and their form determined. Finally, testing will be done using randomly chosen sentences from the database.
